BEAUTIFUL photographs of snakes. (I can't believe I would say that....lol) but they are so detailed and awesome to look at. Great way to peak interest of young scientists.
The reader follows Bob Mason and his team of "snake scientists" in this exploration about a species of red-sided garter snakes that live in Manitoba, Canada. This illustrated nonfiction book includes high-quality color photographs from the field that instruct the reader on what the field and laboratory of a scientist might look like. And of course, we learn a lot about snakes in general, and this unique species in particular! Snake Scientist a well-written book for late primary grades because the writing is straightforward and the vocabulary seems controlled. I really like the narration, especially the up-close impression we get of what the scientific method is all about. It's helpful, I think, to know that Bob Mason failed a science aptitude test as a young man. There's a thread in the story about how the reader may choose to do anything s/he wants if s/he is passionate about it. Really cool book! I'm definitely more knowledgeable about snakes now!
this wonderfully photographed educational book about snakes was put together by sy montgomer and photographed by nic bishop.
